Develop your English language skills with AEA in Hong Kong

Who is this course suitable for?

This course is suitable for complete beginners (the latin word "ab initio" means from the beginning).

This course is suitable for student pilots who are about to start a PPL flight training course conducted in English and need to improve their English proficiency.

The course is also suitable for learners who want to improve their English before starting a PPL theory course.

This core is suitable for learners who want to prepare for a Flight Grading or an ICAO English test for Cadet Entry Pilots.

You will also improve your understanding of technical vocabulary and aviation theory so that you will learn faster on the PPL theory course. If you are thinking about taking a PPL theory course and are not sure if you can understand the English vocabulary in the text books, English for PPL Ground School is the best possible preparation.

Improve your English before you start flight training

The aim of this course is to give trainee pilots the opportunity to practice the English skills needed in aviation. You will practice speaking and listening in an authentic aviation context, just as you would if you were in the cockpit.

After the course you will be able to use and understand common aviation terms in:

Communication with air traffic control

Basic radio-telephony

Pilot and instructor interactions

Airport and aircraft features

Traffic patterns

ATIS

Basic principles of flight

Aircraft checks and checklists

Aviation weather forecasts
